Evan and the Babies: Blue skies

Wish I could say the blue skies reference was to more than the weather but no new news on the children. Still, it was great to have some sunshine today and we even got the older children out briefly this morning. Of course they were all bundled up against the "cold." The crocus are starting to bloom along the pathway at the clinic. Still a fair amount of mud though when Cathy and I took a short walk after lunch.

The twins were making faces in the mirror today. Too funny. And Marius had a pretty good day until the older kids came in and he was pulling my hair - really pulling hard! I think he does better when there are fewer children in the room. Hope I didn't do too much damage to my wrists lifting children and flipping Gaby over in somersaults. She loved it though. She has taken to "dancing" sitting on her knees and is making more noises. Progress can be slow but at least I see some progress.

The aides are having a hard time of it. Some are better able to focus on the children than others. Lucky we have experienced volunteers on the team. And Cathy is so great with the kids - born to do this. Unfortunately, Robin needs to leave on Friday as her sister is quite ill and in the hospital. I know it is hard for her to leave but she is doing the right thing. We will miss her.
